Can you sit if you have fat transfer to hips and top of butt only? If not, how long to stay off?

Thank you for your question. What I recommend you is to follow all your plastic surgeon post op advise.Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Hi, every surgeon has his/her own set of post-operative guidelines and you should follow your surgeon's guidelines carefully in order to ensure a speedy and full recovery and for best results. We stress this point because your surgeon will know your particular case best. That said, typically it is recommended that you avoid putting pressure on the affected area for two weeks. You can lie down on your back, but you should not sit. If you absolutely need to sit you should limit sitting to about 30 minutes or so. If you have any questions or concerns about your post-operative recovery guidelines please be sure to consult with your surgeon.

Hello and thank you for your question. Different surgeons have different opinions about BBL post op care and you should follow the advice of your board-certified plastic surgeon. I would allow my patients to sit on a soft pillow and tell them to avoid prolonged sitting.  Best,
